Hewlett-Packard announced that private investigators 1 that they hired to find the source of leaks to the press broke the law as part of their research.

According to an HP spokesman, "We are absolutely horrified 2 that the records of journalists were accessed without their authorization 3." Chairwoman of the HP board Patricia Dunn, who ordered the investigation 4 into the leaks, said that she was "appalled 5" by the news, and resisted calls for her resignation.
